Gemmin, the Bard

Overview

Gemmin is and was a man of many skills and talents, however his most notable achievments are in the musical field, where he spent most of his life. He was tall, had fair skin and green eyes, and spoke with a tone that most viewed as arrogant. While he enjoyed making others believe he was sinister, he truly had a good heart. His most valued possession was a small leatherbound book with the words "The Ballads of Gemmin" written on the front. He devoted his life filling this book with the songs of the individuals he met, as well as the events of the world. However, both he and his book have been missing for quite some time.

The House of Whispers



Gemmin, much to his dismay, became most known during the tournaments for the crown. Before they had began, Gemmin had established the House of Whispers, a guild who's goal was to collect and spread the tales of the world. However, when disaster struck and King Valos was pronounced dead, his House took on a much more dire role. He utilized his contacts that normally brought him stories (he called them his "Birdies" as in "a little birdy told me...") to instead bring him information on the various factions who were now competing for the throne in the tournaments the King Regeant was holding. He knew the sort who would compete, and believed it to be of great importance to use whatever information he could obtain to ensure that only a good and just individual could claim such power. He, and many others, realized how powerful his connections were, and in the end, Gemmin was pleased to know that Greg Percival sat upon the throne. It is because of this trying time that the House of Whispers would no longer be known as an entertainment guild, but rather, a guild of spies.

Afterwards

Shortly after King Percival took the crown, the land fell into chaos. Gemmin and the House of Whispers vanished during this time, and have yet to be seen again. Tales of a travelling bard named Gemmin have started to circulate around other lands, though none can verify whether or not it is the same Gemmin.
